Pacers' Rodney Stuckey: Ruled out four-to-six weeks

The Pacers announced Tuesday that Stuckey (knee) is dealing with a left patellar tendon strain and would be sidelined for four-to-six weeks.

Stuckey left Sunday's win over the 76ers with a sore knee, prompting the team to order an MRI in an effort to get an official diagnosis. With the scans revealing that Stuckey's injury was more serious than anticipated, he'll now miss the rest of the regular season and likely the playoffs, barring a deep run by the Pacers. In his stead, Aaron Brooks figures to benefit the most, as he's now the unquestioned top backup to Jeff Teague. Monta Ellis and C.J. Miles will also pick up some additional run, especially with fellow wing Glenn Robinson (calf) uncertain to return before the end of the regular season.
